About the units

gal

Gallon (gal): an imperial unit. US gallon = 3.785 L, imperial (UK) gallon = 4.546 L. This converter uses the US gallon.

Liter (L): an SI unit. 1 L = 1 dm³. The international standard for liquids.

Quick tips

1 US gallon ≈ 3.8 liters (quick approximation: multiply gallons × 4).
1 imperial (UK) gallon ≈ 4.5 liters, different from the US gallon!
A 500 ml water bottle = 0.5 liters = approximately half a quart.

Did you know?

The US gallon was originally defined as the volume of 231 cubic inches, while the liter was defined as the volume of one cubic decimeter (1000 cubic centimeters). That's why the conversion isn't a round number.
